I provide structured, research-backed therapy to help children, teens, adults, parents, and families overcome challenges and build lasting resilience.
I have deep experience helping people of all ages with primary anxiety disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Autism, Tourette Syndrome and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). One of my favorite areas of expertise is parent training. To me, helping youth and their parents as well as adult patients use new skills to become more resilient is a privilege.
​
I coach clients to bridge the gap between their current, undesired actions and desired, purposeful behaviors. I use a non-judgmental, analytical approach to uncover patterns in emotions, thoughts, and actions. My clients appreciate my ability to clarify disorder-driven and character-based actions; in other words, I help clients learn to differentiate between themselves and their disordered behaviors.
​
My goal is to collaborate with my clients to increase their confidence in their ability to change and to enhance their hope that they can become their most authentic selves. I am the coach and ultimate champion of my patients' functioning, even if it means I coach my clients to place less emphasis on comfort. I want my clients to be resilient and free, and I believe they feel most connected to me when I demonstrate my passion for them becoming more like their ideal selves.
